2006 Pontiac GTO Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Pontiac GTO and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your GTO could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine GTO maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2006 Pontiac GTO!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Pontiac themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your GTO's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2006 Pontiac GTO problems in the future.

Bring your 2006 Pontiac GTO to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your GTO’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2006 Pontiac GTO? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your GTO may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Pontiac GTO battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your GTO stranded. Your Pontiac GTO won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2006 Pontiac GTO running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2006 GTO. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2006 Pontiac GTO.

Maintaining your Pontiac GTO steering and suspension system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).

These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement.

If you fall behind on routine Pontiac GTO maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally!
